CNN Reporter Just Ate It Over Her Initial Reporting About the Charlie Kirk Assassination

It’s over. Tyler Robinson, the suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk, has been slapped with multiple charges, including aggravated murder. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray will be seeking the death penalty for Robinson. Chilling texts revealed the motivations behind the killing of the Turning Point USA founder. Everything we knew was confirmed: Robinson was a leftist, he hated Charlie Kirk, and he was dating a transgender, Lance Twiggs.

So, with the seal of prosecuting attorneys, the liberal media has a lot of correcting to do, because they were wrong again. Occam’s razor was not applied, in that when you shoot and kill someone, you’re probably not a fan of that individual. For days, liberals were peddling the theory that Robinson was MAGA and a Kirk supporter, whose fandom led to him murdering the conservative activist. It made no sense, and now that narrative has truly been destroyed after yesterday’s presser.

CNN’s Juliette Kayyem can start with the retractions. She’s not the only one, but lady, are you kidding me?

I have read a lot about Charlie Kirk’s killer’s family, his history and writings. A partisan can find what they are looking for. But to date, from what we know, there is no dominant political ideology. Instead it’s a stew of irony, violence, gaming fetish and Discord. @CNN

CNN journo: "There is no dominant political ideology."

*seven hours later*

The indictment: "He had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay, and trans rights oriented." https://t.co/AJqeRVOZrN pic.twitter.com/G60xs04j5k

Malcolm Nance — a board member of the International Spy Museum — is still pushing the baseless claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a far right extremist, when all evidence suggests the shooter had a trans boyfriend, wrote Antifa-style messaging on his ammo, and was a leftist. https://t.co/dWMY2Sqrm5 pic.twitter.com/Bl3IRvQ0aL
